    CI partners are mostly state-funded and, like everything in China, under CCP leadership. Moreover, as a recent study commissioned by China’s MOE observed, in a charged U.S. political atmosphere, the “Confucius Institute” brand is now associated with Chinese political interference. Nonetheless, at least one U.S. university, Georgia’s Wesleyan College, signed on with CIEF for the duration of its current CI agreement, although others in the U.S. and Europe are proceeding with announced closures

    - Implications of Transcription on Adaptive Mutagenesis Using dst1 Knockout Cell Lines of S. cerevisiae Jorge Velasquez, Senior Capstone Seminar Drug resistance in cells has been of great interest because it can render certain treatments for diseases ineffective, presenting a major problem to modern medicine. Cells experiencing growth arrest due to drug selective pressure are capable of acquiring mutations that confer resistance via adaptive mutagenesis. Under such conditions, replication does not occur, but

  • Two years before he founded the only local peace prize in the nation, Thomas Heavey ’74 was in the middle of a war.

    claimed tens of thousands of lives. “In war there are some pretty tense times, but there’s a lot of time that isn’t,” Heavey said. “So it gives you time for reflection.” In that time of reflection, Heavey asked himself what modern Norway would have to say to the Norwegians of Tacoma he was then tasked with leading, as well as what Norway would say to the world in the face of immense violence. “The conclusion you come to is that Norway is the superpower for peace,” he said. “When peace is breaking out

    , and the policies and practices of professional organizations, such as the Modern Language Association, reveal the ways in which the image of the profession has been manipulated to fit other ideological agendas. Such issues have also affected the relative prestige of individual languages (the popularity of Russian in the space-age “Sputnik” era, for example, or the current popularity of Spanish linked to shifts in the U.S. demographic trends) as well as the rising and falling popularity of various

    batteries store more energy per mass (specific energy) and per volume (energy density) than Li-ion batteries, but cannot discharge that energy as quickly as modern electronics need because metal anodes oxidize too slowly. We hypothesize that the specific power of metal-air batteries, as a class, would increase if the electrochemically accessible interfacial areas of metal anodes were greatly increased by supporting the redox-active metal component on nanostructured, porous current collectors. In such a
